BHTY follows the guidelines for Authorship recommended by the ICMJE. Please click this link to review and determine authorship criteria for your submission. In addition, BHTY has included the criteria on its site under General Information for Authors. We ask you to familiarize yourself with the recommended guidelines. Thank you.

BHTY publishes articles on a continuous basis to keep up with a dynamic marketplace. Continuous publishing means all BHTY articles will be available faster online as they become ready to publish, without linking them to a specific issue. This way, we can ensure an accurate reflection of developments, trends and the most current knowledge, while providing a forum for developing shared work and consensus. As an open access journal, all research articles are freely available immediately on publication.

The audience suited for BHTY's editorial mission includes blockchain executives, researchers, and innovators in healthcare and academia including experts and leadership at hospitals, payer organizations, informatics, biopharma, public health, population health, government, healthcare insurance, CROs, and not for profit organizations across the globe, with an interest in the latest knowledge on blockchain technology, implementation, and advances on the horizon in healthcare.

BHTY has been conceived as a serious scholarly publication to benefit the healthcare sector and the initiatives, pilots, deployments, and outcomes many of you are focused on. We hope its scope, quality, originality of content, and its significance, will qualify BHTY for inclusion in scholarly databases. In the interim, we are included on the PKP Index content aggregator, Google Scholar, Dublin Core Indexing, and COinS . We look forward to working together to achieve the goals both author and publisher aspire to meet.

To assist you in selecting a journal for your manuscript submission, please consider the following:

Turn-around Time: BHTY is committed to providing fast turnaround for peer review. Our aim is 5 to 7 business days. Publication occurs once the submission is accepted, and immediately after fulfillment of submission requirements as itemized under Submission Information: Manuscript Sections and Organization.

Governing Body: The editorial board of stewards and peer reviewers is comprised of a cross section of world-renowned experts bringing depth and breadth of knowledge, and curiosity, to a collegiate and egalitarian platform. For brief biographies and disclosure statements, please click this link. For your conveneince, we have included board members and affiliations below.

Should you wish to become a member of the Peer Reveiw board, please send a letter to the Publisher along with CV and experience with blockchain technology more specifically. Those employed by commercial entities may not apply at this time. Thank you.

Archiving and Scholarly Practices: We use LOCKSS preservation, the PKP|PS Indexing service, Portico, and will apply to CrossRef. We adhere to ICMJE, COPE, and WAME guidelines and practices. BHTY is published on the PKP Open Journal Systems (OJS), platform. We have partnered with TrendMD.

Portfolio: We are a far-reaching new era portfolio. We are committed to sharing knowledge, stimulating thoughts and conversations to build consensus, a clearer path forward in areas that pioneer innovation and change legacy systems, and assist in achieving better health, quality of care, and a more efficient healthcare system. If you share these values, support us and grow a global community that includes new era thinkers and pioneers leading the sector to ultimately transform and dramatically increase the quality of healthcare around the globe.

Indexing: As a new journal, we don’t have an Impact Factor. As soon as BHTY publishes a required and acceptable number or original research articles, the sooner we anticipate BHTY will be indexed. We will also endeavor to seek membership in an array of organizations and societies, which will benefit authors. In future, indexing articles will occur retroactively once index status is obtained. Be assured BHTY is working hard to achieve this.

Revenue sources: BHTY revenue will consist of advertising support for the journal, reprints, author fees, and related initiatives conducted under the auspices of the journal such as conferences, summits, and roundtables and custom projects. Under no circumstance does commercial support impact the editorial decisions for journal manuscript submissions.

BHTY is committed to building trust through truth. Your contributions are paramount to achieve this goal.

Those with an interest in submitting a manuscript or obtaining further information are encouraged to do so.
